In a recent statement, Jon Gruden, former head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders, didn’t hold back his mix of admiration and frustration towards the incredible talent of Patrick Mahomes, the star quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs. When asked about Mahomes’ unique plays, Gruden humorously and somewhat sarcastically remarked:

“He completed a pass behind his back. I wanted to go out and punch him for doing that. That’s just not fair. I mean, he completes them left-handed, behind his back, under his legs. The guy is a dazzling magician playing QB.”

Patrick Mahomes is renowned for his extraordinary ball-handling skills and seemingly impossible plays that leave fans and opponents alike in awe. He doesn’t just excel at precise passing but also turns challenging situations into scoring opportunities.

Mahomes’ versatility in his playing style has placed him among the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history. With unbelievable plays like behind-the-back passes or throws with his non-dominant hand, Mahomes has brought a fresh flair to the league and is a nightmare for any defense.

Gruden’s comments, though tinged with humor, also reflect a deep respect for Mahomes’ unique talent. Clearly, whether they’re opponents or spectators, no one can deny the dedication and special abilities that this quarterback brings to the field. And perhaps, the only thing that could drive his opponents “crazy” is their inability to stop him from making those magical plays.
